Cleofas Almanza

Happy Birthday Cleofas Almanza!

The Mexican painter, Cleofas Almanza was born in 1850. Biographical information about this artist is scarce. We do know he was a landscape painter whose work has been sold through Christies and other auction houses. The landscape displayed below was painted in 1890. I really love the play of light in this painting with deep shadows and beautifully lit cliffs. In English the title translates to: "Landscape with Forest River".
